This depends on whether you came in with inspection? That is to say, whether you are overstaying or you crossed the border. If you overstay, you will have a chance to get green card if you can prove your marriage was not entered into for invading immigration law. Remember, merely a marriage certificate will not satisfy immigration requirement. Good luck!

I am not sure I understand what you are asking me. But let me answer it this way. If you marry a USC, then the law will consider your marriage a "good faith" marriage after 2 years. So, upon marrying a USC, you will receive a 2-year Conditional Green Card that you will have to renew for a 10-year green card providing you are still married to the USC or that you have a compelling reason why the renewal is warranted if the marriage has already ended. I hope this helps. Good luck!
